One of the most critical elements in caring for any antique is keeping it clean. For a bird cage, it really depends on what it's made from. Is it made out of brass, iron, or another type of metal$%: If so, it can simply be wiped down with a rag.

Is it a wooden bird cage$%: If it is then you'll need to take some different pre-cautions. The best suggestion I can give is to get with an expert in the area of antiques. They will have the knowledge to show you how to care for your cage.

One thing is for certain though, never use any type of store bought spray cleaner on your bird cage. These types of cleaners contain harsh chemicals that can easily destroy the painted surfaces, as well as possibly affect the wooden frame. Even something as simple as soap and water can be hard on the cage. This is why you'll want to talk with an expert and get some sound advice.
